Ah, Milano. I have the exact same shot at home I think :) Except for the man. Which makes all the difference. Congrats.

I loooove the PP on this one! Pol. filter? Highlights toward yellow? Selective saturation? Unshgarp mask? Tell me!

Would have been even better with a long shutter, but still, marvelous!

A shame the horizon is off, and you should have removed what I can only assume is lens flare on the left. Did you crop most on the left side?

Anyway, lovely subject!

Focus often looks better if it's on the closer ey

Great lightning and skin-PP.

Personal taste; not so much. e.

Since I made a promise, that I wouldn't comment without giving both pros AND cons, here goes:

What makes this photo so great is the "cleanness" of everything - it seems cold and sterile, while the subject (a partly naked female body) is usually portrayed completely differently. Perfect! Not to mention the lighting, crop, sharpness, skin-texture ect...

I see a few things that I would've liked you to change:

- The stray hairs in the back of the neck. Hell of a job, but I guess just removing some of it would help
- The two black lines in the background going from top right towards the neck. I'm guessing the cloth / paper / whatever had some folds in it?

What I assume is a PP black line at the outskirts of the iris is a tad overdone. Same with the white in the eyes.

Great lightning on the hair (the real subject).

Seems like the (photo) left brow is in focus.

Nice close crop and beautiful detail in the iris.

Not too fond of selective color, but here it works ok I guess. Would have loved if you took away some of the red (now gray) streaks in the white of the eyes. Also, a bit smoothing of the skin around the eyes would keep focus on the eye itself - my eyes wonder to the top and bottom right all the time...
